Inside the design

Why it’s built this way.

Carbon-fiber Unibody design

Designed as a one-piece carbon-fiber composite Unibody — a stiff, light shell engineered to keep panel resonances clear of the passband while holding weight down for a cabinet this size.

Front-loaded port

The vent fires from the front face, so the box tuning is designed to behave consistently regardless of how the sub is oriented or how close it sits to a wall or floor.

Slide-in service

The driver is designed to mount on a slide-in baffle: pull the baffle, service the driver at a bench, slide it back — the Unibody shell stays closed.

Matched transducers

Drivers are selected and matched in-house for a consistent voicing curve and a coherent impedance class across the line.
